NVWE: Rosemary’s is always Talley’s most flamboyant Chardonnay and the 2014 is true to form. The nose is opulent, yet beautifully focused, and the aromas roll-out as a plush mix of fresh Fuji apple, baked apple, white peach tart, lemon zest, pineapple core, white pepper and baking-spice, with a hint of Marzipan in the background. If clearly youthful, it is bright, polished and already creamy on the palate, where the dominant apple and white peach flavors rise above a supporting cast that includes orange zest, lemon marmalade, pineapple core, yellow rose, brioche, vanilla wafer and hazelnut. Zest and drying mineral elements bring the lingering finish into food-worthy balance. Just delicious already, it will grow more so for several more years 438 cases produce
